Information on resource ' Astronomical Calendar: Sun and Moon Ephemerides and Twilight
Calculator'
The Astronomical Calendar is a software package for automated
calculations of the celestial coordinates (ephemerides) of the Sun and
Moon. It computes the times of sunrise and sunset, the boundaries of
civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight, and lunar phases, based on
the geographic coordinates of the observing site and its time zone. A
web-based implementation is hosted at the Fesenkov Astrophysical
Institute and is available in Kazakh, Russian, and English. The
service allows users to obtain ephemerides for any location on Earth
and export results as tables (including PDF output). The Astronomical
Calendar is widely used for planning observations with robotic
telescopes and for estimating natural illumination conditions. The web
page of the Astronomical Calendar is available at:

- Astronomical Calendar: Sun and Moon Ephemerides and Twilight
Calculator
Web implementation of the Astronomical Calendar developed at the
Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute. Computes Sun and Moon ephemerides,
sunrise/sunset times, twilight boundaries, and lunar phases for
arbitrary geographic coordinates and time zones. Interface is
available in Kazakh, Russian, and English, with PDF export options.
Intended for observation planning and general astronomical use. The
